One More Day

I planned, and took, an additional vacation day. Good thing, too. It was fraught--fraught I tell you!--with nuisances, delays, and frustrations. I had a handful of errands to run and took Mom to lunch. By the time I returned, David was home and normalcy resumed.

We had some home improvement work done while we were away and a flukey thing happened to the new kitchen light: it short-circuited. According to the electrician [one of those delays and frustrations], it wasn't because of anything about the new light. I'm skeptical. So that new light is dark until two guys can come and fish a new wire to the light. While they're here, I'm adding a dimmer switch, too.

Might as well capitalize on those frustrations.

Welcome to life....*grin*

What is that saying...."the best laid plans of mice and men oft go awry?"

Today I was supposed to have PT for my feet....but they called and canceled. The PT was ill. Well I had Caldwell Lumber deliver some concrete block that I'm needing for a kennel project I undertook. I specifically asked: (1) please deliver before 8 a.m. and (2) please call before coming out. Neither of those things happened.

But...I was ready when they got there, told them where to put the sand, and the block....all 80 of them....so....hopefully the WI weather holds out long enough for me to finish this project.

This is why I don't belong to the YMCA.

I think I hauled 25 wheelbarrows full of dirt...and still have about 1/4 of the kennel to finish digging out. Who ever thought that 6 x 12 feet of dirt was so much...*giggle*

Glad you had your extra day off.....and had lunch w/Mom.

I'll be there to get her tomorrow. I'll check the flight and I'll time it so that she'll be waiting for me and I'll pick her up out front.

Enjoy your new dimmer switch light!!
